“The Minister for Education has also assured me that this year, we’ll start the replacement textbooks with laptops that have textbooks embedded in Senior high Schools,”
The program was meant to give Senior High School teachers modern materials to facilitate teaching and learning and as of December 11, 2021, Ghana Education Service reported that 80% of laptops meant for teachers had been distributed.
Meanwhile, Angel Carbonu, the President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), has met the government's new initiative with skepticism
He believes ICT is the way forward for the country, but the government will collide with challenges implementing this program
“Looking at recent happenings, I foresee some challenges in the government being able to supply laptops to every student, however, we still have to keep hope alive, we don’t have a choice.”
